A silent semaphore?

Semaphore is supposed to be silent. It’s communicating with flags being waved in definite patterns that are meant to signify letters of the alphabet. I remember studying it in Boy Scouts nearly 40 years ago.

Of course it didn’t save his message – Jason signalled “YER” instead of “YES”.

So he did! Nice catch balok! Gotta love that Bill Amend “cryptic” humor :-D

Now let’s see him do the Semaphore version of “Wuthering Heights”…..

In double time :-)

Balok FTW!

You don’t have my support spammer

Yay! Let’s play “BASH THE SPAMMER”!!!

Looks like Jason gave a preemptive flag and the spammer still showed up

spammer should say - Thanks for flagging my annoying bleeep

FLAGGED! Those poor spammers must be desperate. I mean… those mean nasty spammers must be desperate.

I wonder what “YER” would do, as opposed to “YES”. Nothing?

I think I recall another videogame that Marcus and Jason were playing was “Chamber Music Hero” and they were unimpressed.

I flagged why are those spammers still at it. I sent email to gocomics about it. complaining don’t know if it will do any good.

I don’t remember the “Chamber Music Hero” strip, that had to be funny!

Flagged again,and on 8 other comics so far

this particular spammer made his/her account only today, so GoComics can’t do much about that.

GoComic staff have all gone to church. They will take care of this tomorrow. Cool down, you all. True confession: I flagged as I went passed the spam.

Hey look boys you get what you pay for ! It looks like you didn’t pay much !

@ LadybugMacon,

While most of the stuff in the bargain bin is junk (as the boys have just discovered with that game), one can sometimes find treasures there.

Spammer bashing - hey, now there’s an idea for a video game.

I found Dragon Quest V in the bargain bin for $14.99.

Got him tootoo

@ Hugh B. Hayve:

Thank you for making that joke, you beat me to it! :-)

I’ll follow it up with a little Julius Caesar on an Aldus Lamp.

Hugh & Hintzy - thanx for the Python references!

He looks like he’s trying to land a plane

He really does.

That’s why I usually don’t buy Third-party Wii games.

HA! I learned this in Boy Scouts. Got the Merit Badge and everything…

At first, I thought Marcus was a girl.
